Former Judge John E. Jones III criticized Judge Cannon for not being decisive enough in Donald Trump's pretrial proceedings.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon seems to be 'getting lost' in former President Donald Trump's classified documents case, former Republican Judge John E. Jones III told CNN's Boris Sanchez on Friday.In June 2023, Trump, the presumptive GOP 2024 presidential nominee, was indicted by the Department of Justice, accused of mishandling classified documents upon leaving the White House in 2021 and of obstructing the government's efforts to retrieve them.
Jones replied: 'Well, you can be deliberate and you can go over every detail, and that's what you're supposed to do as a jurist, and not take forever to do it.'He continued: 'Remember, got chambers full of really bright law clerks who can help her at every step of the way. You have to be decisive, Boris. I mean, that's what you get paid to do as a judge. The time does not mean that a particular judge is doing all the things that are necessary to be an exemplary jurist.
